There is Room For the Poor Daughter

On the first day of the new year, Gu Jian saw Xiao Moren and Daozi wearing the same red robes, and from a distance, they looked like brothers, and he laughed out loud: "You two look like brothers. "

Xiao Yeyang, who was one step behind and helped Daohua into the house, smiled and said, "The two of them are brothers from the beginning."

Daozi nodded solemnly: "That's it."

Xiao Moren didn't speak, but his eyes and mouth were full of smiles. He liked Uncle Wang's attitude of not treating him as an outsider.

Not long after, the maids came over with hot wine and glutinous rice balls.

Seeing Daozi, he couldn't help but want to show off, and ran to help: "Old Ancestor, I'll bring you glutinous rice balls to eat."

Daohua has a big belly and can't move. Just as she wants to stop her, she sees that her son has reached out to hold the porcelain bowl with the dumplings.

"Bangdang~"

The porcelain bowl was so hot that the rice couldn't hold back, and the bowl fell to the ground.

It is not a good sign to break things on the first day of the new year. The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. Daozi knew she had done something wrong and looked at Daohua cautiously.

Gu Jian wanted to comfort Daozi, but with his apprentice there, he and Xiao Yeyang had a tacit understanding and chose to shut up.

Xiao Moren was worried that Daozi would be scolded, so he stepped forward and said, "Auntie, it's all my fault, I didn't pull the rice well."

Daohua smiled and said, "What does this have to do with you." As she spoke, she looked at her son who was pretending to be a quail, without scolding or comforting, "You broke the bowl, what should you do now?"

Daozi didn't get angry when she saw Daohua, she patted her chest in relief, thinking of what her mother usually taught her, she just had to find a solution when she encountered a problem, she smiled and looked at the kneeling maid: "Get up, it's not strange. You, hurry up and clean up."

Saying that, he looked down at the shoes that were wet with the soup, and looked at Daohua, "Mother, my shoes are wet, so I have to go and get new ones. Eat them first, and I'll be right back."

After saying that, he ran out of the house.

Xiao Moren saw it and wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Daohua.

"Okay, don't worry about him, just sit down and eat dumplings, it won't taste good when it's cold. There's a wet nurse with Daozi, so it'll be alright."

Seeing that the ancestor and Uncle Wang started to eat, Xiao Moren had no choice but to pick up the spoon.

It didn't take long for the rice to run back.

"Mom, I've changed my shoes."

Daohua let out an 'um', pulled the stool, and motioned Daozi to sit down to eat.

After Daozi sat down, he glanced at the people at the dinner table, and finally chose to take the initiative to apologize: "Mother, I was wrong."

Daohua turned her head to look at Daozi: "What's wrong?" It was a trivial matter for a child to throw a bowl, but his son took the initiative to admit his mistake, and it seemed like a loss not to take the opportunity to preach.

Daozi: "Today is the first day of the new year. I broke the bowl, which is not auspicious."

Daohua shook her head: "Throwing a bowl is just a trivial matter, and it's not unlucky."

Gu Jian hurriedly answered: "Yes, yes, there is no bad luck, our family will always be smooth and smooth." He is old, and he is still very taboo about some things.

Xiao Yeyang didn't care about these, and smiled at his son and his mother Zhou Xuan.

Daozi's eyes lit up: "Really? Then don't our family have to be unlucky?"

Daohua was surprised: "Who said we would be unlucky?"

Daozi: "I heard from the kitchen woman before that you can't break things during the New Year, or you will be unlucky."

Daohua didn't want her son to remember this bad suggestion: "That's her nonsense, you broke the bowl, it's called broken peace."

Hearing these words, Xiao Yeyang looked over and said, "Shards are safe. Your explanation is quite good."

Gu Jian nodded straightly: "Yes, every year is safe, our family will always be fine."

Seeing that his parents and ancestors didn't blame him, Daozi was completely relieved, and happily picked up the soup spoon and prepared to eat dumplings.

Daohua said again: "It's a trivial matter to throw a bowl, but today you are indeed wrong, the fault is over your own strength."

Rice Duzui lowered his head.

Daohua continued: "You see that the bowl is not big, and you feel that you can handle it, but you don't know that the bowl is very hot. You see that the maids are easy to handle, so you feel that you can do it yourself, but in fact?"

"Your hands are tender, you can't stand the heat, and you don't know how to hold a bowl, so you drop the bowl in one fell swoop."

"Just like when you hung lanterns the other day, watching the little servants hang easily, but it's actually not as easy as you imagined. Don't you say your arms are sore when you go to bed at night?"

"Let's do things, we must see the essence of things clearly, know how much ability we have, don't be impulsive and try to be strong, and do what you can."

After speaking, I scooped a dumpling into the rice bowl.

Daozi knew that the mother was comforting herself, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said loudly: "Mother, I know, I will think twice in the future."

Daohua smiled: "Hurry up."

Daozi scooped up the dumplings given by Daohua with a smile and ate it, then said "Yeah" and said in surprise, "Mother, I've eaten ingots, and I'm going to have great luck again this year."

Saying that, he also scooped the thumb-sized golden ingot to show Xiao Yeyang and Gu Jian.

Gu Jian smiled and said, "Our rice is going to be lucky."

"Old Ancestor, you can eat it quickly, maybe you will be able to eat Yuanbao soon."

"Okay, the ancestors will eat here."

Seeing the rice happily eating glutinous rice balls, and the uncle Wang's family chatting and laughing happily, Xiao Moren breathed a sigh of relief.

That's the end of the bowl drop.

Falling a bowl on the first day of the new year is not a big deal, but if it is left in Beijing, many people will care about it.

Xiao Moren couldn't help but imagine that if he broke the bowl, his father and mother would most likely blame him.

His father, mother and concubine have high expectations for him, and have always been strict with him, requiring him to do everything perfectly, and he rarely has the opportunity to express his opinions.

Before that, he didn't feel anything, after all, other cousins ​​and cousins ​​have been like this.

But after coming to Uncle Wang's house, watching his aunt's teaching to Daozi, and feeling the relaxed and happy atmosphere of Uncle Wang's house, he felt that this was the feeling of home.

"Fourth brother, have you eaten ingots?"

Just when Xiao Moren thought about it, Daozi asked him.

Xiao Moren quickly took a bite of the glutinous rice ball, and then slowly spit out a small golden ingot under Daozi's staring gaze.

Seeing that Xiao Moren also ate ingots, Daozi immediately grinned: "It's great, we can all have good luck this year, I'm so happy, fourth brother, are you happy?"

Xiao Moren: ". Happy!"

Daozi said again: "Fourth brother, let's go to fire a cannon battle later."

Xiao Moren quickly looked at Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.

Xiao Yeyang said with a smile: "If you want to play, go and play. I will let Defu and Deshou follow you. Be careful when playing gun battles, and don't hurt yourself, or you won't have to play next time."

Daozi: "Oh, father, we know, we are not children anymore, we won't hurt ourselves."

These words made Xiao Yeyang speechless, but Gu Jian and Daohua laughed.
